Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1080985A2] Arm rest, comprises a locking/release mechanism with a spring loaded piston and a transversely slidable element serving for locking and releasing the piston. The arm rest comprises a locking/release mechanism incorporating a spring loaded piston (7) which is provided with an end section (10) droppable into a recess (11) in the housing (2), and a lateral opening (7a) for a slidable element (9) for locking/releasing the piston. When the arm rest is lifted, the end section (10) is brought out of the recess (11), the spring (8) is compressed, and the piston (7) is locked in its retracted position by the element (9). The arm rest can now be rotated downwards until the element (9) is brought into contact with the surface (6) of the housing (2) and the piston (7) is released. Subsequent lifting of the arm rest causes the end section (9) to drop into the recess (11).
